Hi! I'm back! I am so, so sorry that I haven't posted a chapter in
months! Please forgive me? Onegai? Well, I really hope that this
makes up (kinda?) for the long months of me not writing. So enjoy and
please e-mail me on what you think.

Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon, never will. I'm just a big fan
of SM. Also the song in this chapter I do not own. It's by this
singer named Buffy.

Author's POV

'Should I tell her what I dreamt of? It can't be her, right?
Maybe my feelings for her got into the dream somehow and her face was
replaced by the real moon princess. Please let me be right, though,'
thought Darien as he opened the door to reveal Serena.
"Darien, what's wrong?" she asked. 'I've decided that it was
just as I thought, my feelings had gotten into the dream,' thought
Darien. He relaxed a bit after.
"It's nothing. I'm fine. Come on in," he replied. He noticed
that Serena looked skeptically back at him, but she didn't say anything
about it after. "Well, do you wanna start now?"
"Well, sure. I mean, there's nothing else to do." she said.
"Haha, oh yeah! I'll go get something to drink," Darien walked
into the kitchen.
"Um...I have this major craving for strawberries and whip cream,
you got any?" Serena asked.
"I think. Let me see," he started to the refrigerator and peeked
inside. Sure enough, there was still a small box of strawberries and a
half can of whip cream left. He took them out and started to wash the
strawberries. While Darien was washing, Serena was still thinking of
her thought before Jonathan had come.
*I like Darien, I know that now. But the problem is, does he
like me? Was the too-close kiss something he wanted? Or was he just
imagining some other girl? Oooh, I just don't know! How can be like
this? Well, one thing I do know for certain is that I have to break-up
with Jonathan. He's a sweet guy, but I can't go on liking Darien,
while still dating him. He deserves so much better.*
"So, here are the strawberries, just dig in and eat as much as
you want," said Darien as he took Serena out of her thoughts.
"Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it," and dig in Serena did.
After that, they had started practicing again without much "trouble"
because both of them took extreme measures to be careful as not to do
anything.

The Next Day
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
After Serena and the girls had gotten off the bus and met the
guys, a thick competition air was in the room.
"Hi, Serena," said Lila Gem. Lila was one of the bratty, popular
girls, hardly a gem at all. She would always pick on Serena because
Serena had snagged Jonathan and everyone knew that at the time,
Jonathan was Lila's next "victim." She always said that she was over
him, but the whole school knew that she wasn't because she was always
picking on Serena. "So, what are you going to do today? Show the
people how many times you can klutz out in a day?" She laughed at her
very pathetic joke because everyone knew that Serena didn't klutz out
anymore. Her horrible cackling was joined by one of her other bratty
friend. "So, who is your partner anyway? I know, it's probably one of
the nerds. That's all you could have ever gotten, a nerd!" And once
again, the cackling began.
"Yeah, you're right I'm such a klutz that all I could ever get is
a nerd..." Serena began.
"Got that right, glad to see that you finally got the point."
"And one of those nerds is someone you used to drool your nasty
little mouth off. Someone that picked a klutz over a bratty, spoiled
selfish, and might I add, slutty drama queen like you!" Serena
retorted. And then the infamous glaring contest between the two girls
began. Practically the whole room seem tuned into Serena's and Lila's
little verbal fight. Darien stepped up to Serena and then said,
"Come on, Serena. You don't have the time to waste talking to
her. We have to start." The girls looked up at him and Lila stared at
him with surprise and satisfaction. She smiled up at him with a wicked
grin and asked,
"So, who are you? Don't tell me you're partners with Serena.
Why don't you come with me and we'll fix up something totally cool that
the other people will never forget?"
"I'm someone who wouldn't want to give you my name even if my
life depended on it, much less go anywhere with you. And I'd rather be
partners with Serena then a slob who wears too much make-up like you."
And then he grabbed Serena's arm and led her away to where their
friends were. Everyone was still staring, until Miss H. said something
and everyone got back to working. Serena was still very surprised that
Darien had said that.
"Darien, you didn't have to do that..." said Serena. He smiled
his cute grin at her and replied,
"Well, she had no right to say those to you. And second, we
seriously don't have time if we want to try to talk about the song."
Serena just didn't mention the whole scene again because they did still
have to talk to the song.
"Ok, class. Time to compete! Now, I want all the singing acts
to go first, going in alphabetical order starting with last names of my
students. Then I want all dancers in the same order. Then I want
musicians, then actors and actresses, and finally everything else that
I hadn't mentioned." Rei and Chad were two groups ahead of Serena and
Darien. Then, in the dancing category, there was Lila and another girl
who was fixing her nails, while Lila was looking at them. They seemed
like they were chatting about them, too. Next, Ami and Greg were third
in the musicians category. Mina and Nick were first in acting, and
finally Lita and Ken were the second to last group. The first couple
going sang some fast song. They were good, but most of the people
didn't think they would win. Then, Rei and Chad went on. They knew
that Rei was a good singer, but no one knew about Chad. They sang to a
slow song that had everyone in a trance. When it was over, everyone
clapped with amazement and enthusiasm. As Serena's and Darien's turn
came nearer and nearer, they got more nervous.
"What if I'm not good enough, Darien?" asked Serena. "What if I
really do get stage fright? What if I suddenly forget the words? What
if..." Serena was cut off by Darien's voice.
"Listen, you're not going to mess up or anything, ok? You're
going to go up there and sing the best you've ever sang and show that
other girl that you're not some klutz, but that you're better than her.
Ok?" replied Darien. Serena smiled gratefully at Darien and nodded.
Then clapping was heard. Miss H. spoke up and said,
"Ok, can we please have the next group go next?" Serena and
Darien started to walk towards the front of the class and then Serena
looked towards all her friends. They were all giving her the thumbs up
sign, but when she looked towards Lila, she was given the thumbs down
sign. Serena glared at her and thought, *I'll show her. I'm going to
rock this competition!"
"Ready Serena?" whispered Darien. Serena nodded again and then
she heard the music start. She mustered up all the confidence she
could and heard Darien start the song:
Girl it felt like I had you in my arms
Well, maybe I didn't
Maybe I'm just thinking about you
Serena then realized it was her big debut.
I guess it's 'cause, you're the first I ever had
And I can't forget you now,
Boy I can't forget you
And together they sang.
You're my first love
You're the only one I've ever loved
You're my first love
You're the only one I've ever loved
*This is the best Serena's ever sang. I knew she could do it. She
sounds amazing!* thought Darien. He opened his mouth to sing and
started to turn towards Serena.
The first time I ever saw you,
You had a flower pin in your hair
You had such a pretty face and a smile that was always there
*I really love this. I love singing, but most of all, I love being
here singing with Darien. I wish I could stay like this forever,*
Serena sighed. As soon as she saw Darien was turned towards her, she
looked his way and started to part her lips.
Well, this is my first love, and maybe it was yours
It doesn't really matter, now
Just wanted to let you know
(Together)
You're my first love
You're the only one I've ever loved
You're my first love
You're the only one I've ever loved
(Serena)
I'll never forget the first time I saw you
You had the sweetest smile
(Darien)
The sweetest smile, only you
(Serena)
And all I could think about was how I could make you my guy
(Darien)
Make you mine, my first love
(Both)
You're my first love
(Serena)
Boy, you've had my heart
(Both)
You're the only one I've ever loved
(Serena)
To kiss, to touch, to hold you close
(Both)
You're my first love
(Serena)
My first love
(Both)
You're the only one I've ever loved
You're my first love
The audience was dazed by their performance. The air was filled with romance
coming out of the two people. The audience just looked at them in awe. No one
had expected that Serena nor Darien could sing as well as they could. Even Lila
was stunned.
(Serena)
Boy, you've had my heart
(Both)
You're the only one I've ever loved
(Serena)
To kiss, to touch, to hold you close
(Both)
You're my first love
(Serena)
My first love
(Both)
You're the only one I've ever loved
And their voices started to fade out. When the music was over, everyone was
just staring at the two. Serena had wondered if she had sucked just as much as
she thought. But her thoughts proved her wrong as the people started to stand
up and clap thunderously. Some people were smiling and others had their eyes
wide opened. Even the judges, Miss. H. and Professor Lee had big grins on their
faces. When the competitions were over, the winner was obvious, Serena and
Darien. Everyone congratulated them. When class was over and it was time for
Serena to go, she said good-bye to Darien and walked towards the bus. There,
leaning on the bus, was Jonathan. Serena was walking up to him with the rest of
the girls behind her.
"Hi, what are you doing here?" asked Serena.
"Hey hun. Um...do you think I could talk to you alone, for a minute?"
replied Jonathan. Serena looked at the girls and they all nodded and walked to
the bus. *Maybe I should just tell him right now, while we're alone.* They
walked not to far from the bus and stopped at a daisy garden.
"Serena, I've been thinking," started Jonathan.
"Me too," replied Serena.
"What about?" he asked with hope in his eyes. Serena didn't want to tell
him first, so she said,
"Why don't you tell me what you've been thinking about?"
"Ok. Well, we've been together for three months and I've really loved to
times we've spent together. And I want whatever we have between us to last for
a long time. So what I'm trying to say is..." he paused. *Maybe I should've
just told him what I'VE been thinking about,* thought Serena. He looked
straight into Serena's eyes and blurted out,
"I love you!"
